Chapter 675: Bribing them, willing to invest
Chang Yi left behind a piece of white silk, and the Princess Taichang did not have the courage to make any noise.
This result made Chang Yi completely change his attitude towards getting along with the Princess Royal.
With Li's instigation and persuasion, Chang Yi's behavior towards the Princess Dowager became even more severe.
He slept in the Princess Grand Princess's room every night, and the Princess Grand Princess had no way to refuse or resist.
Every moment with Chang Yi made the Princess feel extremely disgusted.
Finally, she received some news.
Prince Huaiyang and Ji Chuhe came to Yancheng on the orders of the Empress Dowager.
"Why them? Do they think highly of me? They wish I could die here!" The Princess Royal was so angry that she smashed everything in the room.
She has been smashing things quite a bit these days.
Chang Yi didn't care about her and just sent a new one if the one was broken.
She is like a wild beast trapped in a cage. Once the cage is opened, she will bite everyone to death!
Prince Huaiyang and Ji Chuhe came to Yancheng.
Chang Yi went out of the city to greet him personally.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the prince."
"General Chang, there's no need to bow." Prince Huaiyang raised his hand while riding on his horse.
Ji Chuhe was sitting in the carriage at the back and did not show up.
"Madam Crown Prince is polite." Chang Yi went over to pay his respects again.
"General Chang, there's no need to be so polite." Ji Chuhe replied.
"Your Majesty, Madam, I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you two. Please come in."
"General Chang, please."
The Princess Taichang dressed up and prepared to meet Prince Huaiyang and Ji Chuhe.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped as soon as he reached the door.
"Reporting to the Grand Princess, the general has ordered that the Grand Princess is not allowed to leave this courtyard."
The princess raised her foot and kicked him, "Do you want to die?"
"Princess Taichang, please spare my life!" The maid was so scared that she begged for mercy.
The Princess Royal was still not giving up. As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard gate, she was stopped by two guards. They completely ignored her status and carried her back.
"How dare you treat me like this! I will kill all nine of your clans! When I leave Yancheng, none of you will survive!"
The Princess was about to go crazy again, so the guards left her behind and closed the gate.
The moment the door closed, the eldest princess saw Li's figure.
Li was smiling at her.
The reason why the guards in the mansion dared to treat the Princess Dowager like this was naturally because of Li's instruction.
"Li, just wait, I will tear you into pieces!"
The Princess Royal punched the ground, and a wound immediately appeared on the back of her hand, and she gasped in pain.
At this moment, she was still angry and did not notice that the blood flowing from the wound was dark in color.
She could not have imagined that this minor injury could never be healed.
……
The welcoming banquet was held in the front yard of the county magistrate's mansion.
It is still a long way from the villa that Chang Yi specially prepared for the Princess Taichang.
After Prince Huaiyang and Chang Yi drank a few glasses of wine, they got straight to the point.
"General Chang, I came here this time for your marriage with the eldest princess. The Empress Dowager is very concerned about this matter. You did not explain it in detail in your memorial. I want to know the details."
Chang Yi immediately responded with a cupped hand: "Your Highness, I and the Grand Princess have long been in love with each other, but we have not made this public because of the Grand Princess's reputation."
"General Chang, everyone knows that the Princess Taichang has been faithful to her late husband for more than 20 years. Your sudden pursuit of the Princess Taichang has directly led to her ruined reputation and has also disregarded the reputation of the royal family. Do you know what consequences you will have to bear if these charges are brought to justice?" Prince Huaiyang did not listen to Chang Yi's excuses and directly displayed the majesty of the royal family.
Chang Yi had only heard that the Prince of Huaiyang was very cowardly and lived a miserable life in Huaiyang. He did not expect that when he saw him now, he found that he was not as the rumors said, but was handsome and imposing.
He originally thought that Prince Huaiyang was a weak man and that the Crown Prince's wife had a grudge against the Princess Dowager.
As long as we deal with these two people, we can make them shut up.
Now, he was not sure whether his previous idea could still achieve his goal.
However, I still plan to arrange it according to the original idea.
"Your Highness, I have been apart from the Grand Princess for so long that I can no longer bear the pain of missing her. That is why I made such a bold request. How dare I trample on the dignity of the royal family? Besides, there is no rule in our dynasty that a woman cannot remarry after her husband dies. The Princess has been faithful to her late husband for so many years, and even ordinary women cannot do that. Therefore, even if I marry the Grand Princess, it is impossible for this matter to affect her reputation."
"Where is the Grand Princess now? I will meet her and ask for her opinion before making a decision."
"The princess has been feeling unwell these past few days and doesn't want to see guests, so she told me to entertain the prince and the Crown Prince's wife well."
"The Princess Grand Princess is sick? General, please take me to meet the Princess Grand Princess after the banquet to show my concern for her." Ji Chuhe suddenly spoke.
Seeing that the two were not willing to give in, Chang Yi had no choice but to ask the dancers and musicians to leave.
"Your Highness and the Crown Prince's wife have just arrived in Yancheng after a long journey. Let's take a good rest first. After the Princess Dowager has recovered a little, I will definitely arrange for Your Highness and the Crown Prince's wife to meet with the Princess Dowager. This is also what the Princess Dowager wanted."
"In that case, let's follow the arrangements of the Grand Princess." Ji Chuhe no longer insisted.
"Your Highness and the Crown Prince's wife have finally come to Yancheng. I have specially prepared some gifts for you. Please accept them."
As soon as Chang Yi finished speaking, several guards came in carrying several large boxes.
Prince Huaiyang sat in the main seat without moving. Ji Chuhe stood up and walked towards the boxes.
When the box was opened, it was filled with a wide variety of treasures.
Ji Chuhe picked up a necklace and looked at it.
"General, this is an extraordinary necklace. The bead in the middle has already reached the standard for tribute. I didn't expect that there is such a good thing in your mansion." Ji Chuhe deliberately teased.
"The Crown Prince's wife is indeed a man with a keen eye for gems! I am a simple man and I don't understand these things at all, but I just thought they were pretty and bought them."
Chang Yi didn't expect Ji Chuhe to have such a sharp vision.
As soon as he uttered the word "tribute", didn't it mean that he had hidden the tribute?
"Please don't misunderstand, Madam Crown Prince. This is not a tribute. It was accidentally obtained from a businessman." Chang Yi explained hurriedly.
"General, don't be nervous. I was just saying it casually to praise you for your preciousness." After Ji Chuhe finished speaking, he picked up another jade pendant.
The color of this jade is also excellent.
It seems that Chang Yi is willing to spend a lot of money to bribe them.
However, this also proves that Chang Yi, as the prefect of Yancheng County and the commander-in-chief of a 100,000-strong garrison, has filthy hands!
